树的电视剧

TV Series About a Tree

那棵树本不该在这儿  他们强迫它来  
比运送犹太人去奥斯维辛要顺利  
它乖乖地躺在卡车兜里  
根系像出院的疯子那样干翘着  
沾着南方的红泥巴  在一个黎明被押下卡车  
埋在挖好的坑里  他们浇着水  姿势正确
就像伟大的太阳  提着塑料桶  
将圆形的底部翻转  抖干净水珠
它的故乡更南  日不落  此地会下雪  
冬天是一个漫长的刑期  可它活下来了  
有几年  在昆明市的街心  开着红色的花  
在夏天的黑暗中  一首一首唱热带之歌  
有些鸟喜欢这个丰满的姑娘  喜欢它的大方
一直在考察是不是该筑个新巢  世事难料  
终于被寒流冻死  同归于尽的还有几个流浪汉  
他们再次回来  像当初执行时那样认真  
穿着黑色橡胶鞋  戴着白手套  锯呀 砍呀  
刨呵  运走了那些枯枝  他们执行园林局的命令  
街心繁荣  街心荒凉  街心繁荣  街心荒凉
爸爸  我们应该永远关着窗子  别再看下一幕
			

The tree shouldn't be here. They forced her to come
that was easier than transporting Jews to Auschwitz.
Lying obediently in the truck, covered with red mud from south, 
her roots tilted like a madman discharged from an asylum.
Taken by a truck at dawn, now she is buried in a pit already dug.
They poured water on her by the book,
holding a plastic bucket like a great sun,
flipped the round bottom upside down to shake off the water.
Her hometown down south was always sunny, but this place had snow. 
Winter was a long prison sentence, but she survived.
For a few years, in the center of Kunming, she bloomed the red flowers. 
She even sang a tropical song, one after another, in the darkness of summer.
Some birds liked this plump girl and her generosity,
and considered to build new nests in her.  But fate caught her.
She finally died in a cold spell. Died with her, a few homeless wanderers. 
They came back again, as seriously as they'd planted her,
Wearing black rubber shoes and white gloves, they saw and chopped,
Plowed away those dead branches, on an order from the Bureau of Parks.
Street prosperity.  Street desolation. Street prosperity. Street desolation.
Daddy, we should always shut off the window and never view the next scene.
